Maxi Jazz’s musical career began in the early 1980s as a DJ.
Maxi Jazz was born on 14 June 1957 in Brixton, south London. He started his music career as a DJ at Soul Food Cafe System in 1984. Tam Tam Records signed his band in 1989. Jazz later formed Faithless in 1995 with Rollo and Sister Bliss, and the quartet published their first album Reverence the following year. The album also includes the band’s signature song, Insomnia, widely recognized as one of the greatest dance tunes of all time.
Faithless later released their second album, 8PM Sunday, which received a Mercury Music Award nomination. The album also includes their track God Is A DJ, which earned them a BRIT Award nomination for Best British Dance Director. Forever Faithless, their best-selling CD, was certified platinum four times and went on to become the best-selling dance record in 2005. Additionally, they performed at the 2002 Glastonbury Festival.
Despite the fact that the band broke up in 2011, they published a studio album during the Covid epidemic that ignored Maxi Jazz, who was in another band called Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys. During the previous band’s absence, the musician began composing for the band in 2013. The Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys’ website defined their music as “melodic funk and blues mixed with beat” reggae, basic dubbing [and] Jamaican tunes.” In homage to Jazz, DJ Dave Peace emphasized the importance of Faithless in the UK dance music scene and called Maxi “a poet of dance music, warm-hearted, calm, kind”.
